DEMIS ROUSOSS : RAIN AND TEARS [8]



                                           


Artemios (Demis) Ventouris Roussos (Greek: Ντέμης Ρούσσος, born 15 June 1946) is a Greek singer and performer who had a string of international hit records as a solo performer in the 1970s after having been a member of Aphrodite's Child, a progressive rock group that also included the well renowned Vangelis. He has sold over 40 million albums worldwide.
Roussos was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, in a family where both father George (engineer Yorgos Roussos) and mother Olga were of Greek origin. His parents lost their possessions during the Suez Crisis and consequently decided to move to Greece.
After settling in Greece, Roussos participated in a series of musical groups beginning with The Idols when he was 17, where he met Evangelos Papathanassiou (later known as Vangelis) and Loukas Sideras, his future bandmates in Aphrodite's Child. After this he joined We Five (not the San Francisco, California folk-rock group), another covers band which had limited success in Greece.
He came to a wider audience in 1967 when he joined progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child, with Vangelis and Sideras, initially as a singer but later also playing bass guitar, achieving big commercial success in France and other parts of Europe from 1968 to 1972. His distinctive operatic vocal style helped propel the band to international notoriety, notably on their final album 666, which became a progressive rock cult classic.
After Aphrodite's Child disbanded, Roussos continued to record sporadically with former bandmate Vangelis. In 1970 the two released Sex Power (although the album has also been disputably credited to Aphrodite's Child), also recording the 1977 album Magic together. Their most successful collaboration was "Race To The End" (also sung in Spanish as "Tu Libertad"), a vocal adaptation of the musical theme from the Oscar winning film Chariots of Fire, whilst Roussos also guested on the soundtrack to Blade Runner (1982), with a song entitled "Tales Of The Future".Honey don't you live on the edge of a sigh.

1.  SONG FOR YOU

In me a silence as in your words
Glide like some crazy fall of nightbirds
I'm full of sky and music too

Wanna make a song for you
I wanna make a song for you
I wanna make a song for you

Just can believe [a touch is so light]
Laughing like in a circus all the time
Like [their go gesture] born anew

Wanna make a song for you
I wanna make a song for you

[interlude] Drunk on the passing by of each day
Wanting to sing your fragrance, your grace
There's really good music floating on my song
I wanna make a song for you
I wanna make a song for you
I just wanna make a song for you

In me a silence as in your words
Glide like some crazy fall of nightbirds
I'm full of sky and music too
I wanna make a song for you
I just wanna make a song for you

2.      LOST IN A DREAM

Lost in a dream
I saw you standing there
On the edge of a gleaming white chair
I asked you why and you started to cry
For a class you're going to fly

I thought it's strange
So I said please don't go
Stay with me we can play in the snow
Your stormy eyes told me it was goodbye
And in fact you flew off with all sighs

A dream is something we create
(Deep down inside of soul)
The world where we communicate
(with those will long to know)
Ohhhh Ohhhh...

Lost in a dream
I saw you disappear
In the night like a bitter sweet tear
Spinning around just a bird bearing in pain
I feel flat with the first rays of dawn

When I erowed
It was late afternoon
At the door stood a clown with a broom
You'll have to leave
He dorked me with a sneer
Can't you see that your place isn't here

A dream is something we create
(Deep down inside of soul)
The world where we communicate
(with those will long to know)
Ohhhh Ohhhh...

*Chorus*
Lost in a dream
I saw you standing there
On the edge of a gleaming white chair
I asked you why and you started to cry
And at last you were going to fly

I thought it's strange
So I said please don't go
Stay with me we can play in the snow
Your stormy eyes told me it was goodbye
And in fact you flew off with all sighs

  3.      FOR EVER AND EVER

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring,
My rainbow's end and the song I sing.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream,
My symphony, my own lover's theme.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally.

Take me far beyond imagination.
You're my dream come true, my consolation.

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one
That shines in me like the morning sun.
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny
Will follow you eternally

4.      LAMENT

I've long awaited for the day
That comes to set me free

And all I ask
As I'm a fool
Is love for You and me

For now and each and every day
The moon, it changes [us] all

All the misery lies
Set to blind Your eyes
All in all
For from seeing You

All I need is a simple truth
Cause I believe in You

A story telling silent [order] make believe us true
cause I will know
A time to climb above my lonely soul

I reach out with my heart
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
To the moment divine
And feel my love growFreedom divine
Freedom divine
Freedom divine
Freedom divine
Freedom divine

All I need is a simple truth
Cause I believe in You

A story telling silent [order] make believe us true
Cause I will know
A time to climb above my lonely soul

I reach out with my heart (Freedom divine)
To the lonely divine (Freedom divine)
And feel my love grow

Freedom divine
Freedom divine

  5.      RAIN AND TEARS

rain and tears are the same
but in the sun you've got to play the game
when you cry in winter time
you can pretend
it's nothing but the rain

how many times I've seen
tears running from your blue eyes

rain and tears are the same
but in the sun you've got to play the game
give me an answer God
sign me an answer God

rain and tears both are shown
but in my heart there'll never be a sun
rain and tears are the same
but in the sun you've got to play the game

   6.      BECAUSE


Because I love you more
Than words could ever say
I can live again
With no regrets of dreams that died before you came

Because I know this time
This love is really mine
I can love again
And touch the stars that seemed so very far away

There's a world for us to find
Far beyond the rainbow line
And new horizons everyday
With love to guide us all the way
Eternally, eternally
Because you came to me
With all my dream to see
I can give again
With no regrets for all I gave before you came

There's a world for us to find
Far beyond the rainbow line
And new horizons everyday
With love to guide us all the way
Eternally, eternally

There's a world for us to find
Far beyond the rainbow line
And new horizons everyday
With love to guide us all the way
Because there's you, because there's

   7.      LET IT HAPPEN

Let it happen
Honey don't you live on the edge of your life
Let it happen
Honey don't you live on the edge of a sigh
Let it happen
Honey don't you live on the edge of a smile
Let it happen
Honey don't you live on the edge of your time
Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you

Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you

Let it happen
Honey take a ride on the wheel of life
Let it happen
Open up your heart to the wheel of life
Let it happen
You can put your trust to the wheel of life
Let it happen
Throw away your fear on the wheel of life
Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you
Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you
[interlude]

All you need is love on the wheel of life

Let it happen
All you need is love on the wheel of life

Let it happen
Honey don't you live on the edge of a sigh

Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you

Baby all you got to do
Is let the rythm get to you

Let it happen
All you need is love on the wheel of life

Let it happen
All you need is love on the wheel of life

Let it happen
All you need is love on the wheel of life

Let it happen
All you need is love on the wheel of life

All you need is love on the wheel of life
All you need is love on the wheel of life

All you need is love on the wheel of life

All you need is love on the wheel of life

    8.    MY FRIEND THE WIND

My friend the wind will come from the hills
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well
